I have never really thought that the Left was much in 'array' as far as political purposes were concerned.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The term 'the American Left' is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn't really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.
I've always been very suspicious of the left-right dimension in politics.
Although the big word on the left is 'compassion,' the big agenda on the left is dependency.
All left-wing activists, whether it be WTO, anti-WTO, or anti-war, are idealistic as framed by the Democratic Media Complex.
Nothing for the Left, nothing the government does is ever about its superficial reason; it's only and always about expanding government power and control over you.
We started out as far to the left as we could.
Using official government resources to help bankroll an explicit political agenda - whether on the right or left - is flat out wrong.
I think that a good Left is a party that always thinks about the future and doesn't care much about our past sins.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
In the U.S the right is very wide. From Neo con's to almost Anarchist.
